Gotta love those sneaky background programs (Grrr) Anyway, there are a few workarounds for this problem:

Before running Scandisk/DeFrag, close all open programs that are visible in the taskbar and system tray, then click CTRL+ALT+DEL and individually "End Task" all listed programs except Explorer and Systray. You should then be able to run both programs all the way through.

You can also run scandisk from DOS, by selecting Shut Down from the Strat menu then choosing "Restart in MS-DOS mode". At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt, type SCANDISK [enter] and let it go. When finished, type EXIT [enter] to return to Windows.

Another very efficient way to run DeFrag is immediately at Windows startup, before any other programs have loaded. There is a file included on the Win98 setup CD that will issue a one-time command for DeFrag to run this way at next boot up. The file is called defrag.inf, and it is located in the \tools\mtsutil\ directory of the Win98 setup CD. Simply right-click on the defrag.inf file (from the CD or you can copy it to your hard drive) and select "Install" from the pop-up menu.
